Would it be fesible to only offer the packages in CNR that aren't available in Universe?
It would make a good way for users to obtain 'paid-for' software, such as Cedega. ----- Original Message ---- From: Robin Menneer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: British Ubuntu Talk <ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com> Sent: Friday, 9 February, 2007 4:11:16 PM Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu CNR deal On 2/9/07, Philip Wyett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have been reading about the Ubuntu / Linspire CNR deal and I have some serious reservations about it. Will CNR be part of a default desktop installation? If yes, I will have to seriously consider abandoning Ubuntu. Why? Ubuntu - Linux for human beings and not Linux to confuse the crap out of folks with more software installation methods than you can shake a stick at. Other vendors have it right on this with many other software companies ... Here is the way you do it - The one way. How can anything be for human beings when you can get "I installed this via this and this via that and now I have an issue" - It will cause so many problems for both users and add a large overhead to the developers. Simplicity, stability and consistency is paramount I feel for the basic and new user. Forget people like us who are experienced in systems and IT generally Wonderfully put. Someone should take a note of this - it's so right. CNR maybe yes, but in MOTU as a user installable app and not in the core of the OS!
